Community / Mid Yell shop and post office could reopen

A PUBLIC meeting is being held in Yell later this month to discuss the future of the Linkshouse Stores, which has a new owner after it closed suddenly two years ago.

The former shop at Mid Yell and its associated buildings are now owned by Lindsay Laurenson and he believes it may be viable for the shop and post office to reopen – possibly under community ownership.

Mid Yell Development Company is set to host a meeting on Tuesday 30 April at the Mid Yell Hall from 7pm to gather the public’s views on future of the shop and in particular the community ownership model.
